thus, more of the pain of unemployment from this downturn lies ahead of us than behind us. the deep recession and protracted recovery mean under current law lower tax revenues and higher outlays for certain benefit programs. cbo estimates that those automatic stabilizers will increase the budget deficit by more than 2% of gdp in both 2010 and 2011. in addition, cbo projects that last year's fiscal stimulus package will increase the deficit by roughly 2% of gdp this year and by a smaller amount next year. as the economy recovers and the effects of the automatic stabilizers and legislative policies fade away, the budget deficit will shrink relative to gdp. however, as i have noteed, the projected deficit remains large throughout the decade even under current law, and if the current law is changed in some way that more closely matches current policy -- as most people see it -- the amount of government borrowing relative to gdp would be unprecedented in the post-world war ii period. a large and persistent imbalance between federal spending and revenues is apparent in cbo's proj
